Final solution for wireframe it’s clear enough now 
Man, these new icons are graphic porn to my eyes, terrific job, congrats! The style and clearness i always dreamed for Blender

What about something like this? It’s not a spherical icon I know, but it resembles a mesh and some vertices.
The “Keep UV and edit mode mesh selection in sync” icon bothers me. I propose to make a generic icon for “syncronisation” and use it in UV Editor.

Yes, this is clearer.
Keyframe Interpolation icons are terra incognita for me - for now I simply redraw Your design. Is there something You can point out to make them work better with no colour?

Physics icons are not done yet. Here is some ideas:
Vortex is just copy of the vortex object in 3D without an arrow.
Edit:
And last time i forgotten to put here svg:

Yep. Physics icons are not yet ready. I’m not really sure if they’re necessary…
But all missing primitives are already here!

The are mostly good but wouldn’t it be strange to have just physics icons different in shift+a add panel, where all object are redesigned to be flat and minimalistic. On the other hand they are not visible unless you hover cursor over Force Field and redesigning some of the is very hard. Even I think that at least 5 of my icons are bad.
- I need detailed info about these little bits:
1: This one is quite self explanatory. What this option does, is it makes it so you can snap to faces within the currently edited object. If it’s off, it only snaps to faces from other objects.
2: This option is badly named. It should be called ‘Project Individual Elements’. What it does, is it treats each selected vertex as an individual item for snapping. So if you move a set of vertices over an uneven surface, they all snap to the surface individually. With this option off, the entire selection is snapped as a whole.
Honestly, I think these are really hard to do good icons for. IMO we could just remove the icons here altogether, rather than re-using wrong icons or trying to illustrate something that is too complex for a tiny icon like this. We could just give them more explanatory names.

I’m all for removing those icons in favor of better description.

How do You find my proposal for the Bone Constraint?

Ha, it’s funny. I guess it works.
Looks nice!
(from weekly reports)
This one also needs an icon then I guess.
I would like to suggest too that you rename them to “Snap” instead of “Project.” Even though it’s more accurate, I think people understand what Snap means rather than Project. I feel like “Snap to Self” and “Snap Individual Elements” is clearer.

Sure, it’s less confusing having a single name for those concepts, plus it’s shorter (in english at least…).
Maybe we should display this individual options as regular checkbox options?
For more consistency with Overlays and Shading popovers.
Right, that’s what I meant.
Another (small) request: It seems like you removed, or didn’t add, the ‘New File’ icon? I think we will need this, because of the new templates in the splash screen. It’d be great if you can make it consistent with your own ‘New Folder’ icon.
BTW, you are fairly close now, main thing missing is the modifiers. And I think you said you already did the icons for the curve and NURBS primitives? If so, you forgot to add them to the svg

New File icon is in cell no BA18.
I forgot yo mention, that I redesigned “Push down to NLA” icon (I5) - it could be renamed to Push to NLA or sth like that…
I made a list of things, that seem to be still missing. Many of them are a mystery to me - I marked them with three question marks:
| position in icon sheet | item description |
|---|---|
| A14 | ??? ----- a greyscale bitmap file? Is it still valid? |
| B19 | an old Python script icon - abandoned. I made new icon for Python files: D23. |
| D7 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| D9 | Save As - I suggest to abandon it. |
| D10 | Save Copy - I suggest to abandon it. |
| D12 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| D15 | Open Recent - I suggest to abandon it. |
| F13-15 | ??? ----- axis restriction icons (?) - abandoned, I suppose? |
| F17-19 | ??? ----- some kind of input device - not sure if it still has its place in GUI. |
| F21 | occupated layer icon - not in use anymore. |
| H1-3 | translate/rotate/scale gizmos icons - not in use anymore. |
| H17-18 | ??? ----- a white circle within a black square - have no idea if it has its place in GUI. |
| H21 | ??? ----- an orange-yellow dot whithin symbol of bounding box… as above. |
| I4 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for, but seems to be abandoned. |
| K11 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| L1-17, M2-25 | Modifiers icons - I’m not sure if we do really need them. I’ll pass them by for now, since lack of them won’t hurt and they’re really big challenge. |
| P1-2 | old GE icons - never used. |
| Q1-13 | Force Field icons - at first I was planning to treat them like Modifiers pictograms, but they have their place in Add menu, which will look empty without them  They’re on my list then. |
| U18-19 | something related with colour picking (a rainbow circle with a cursor) - I’d use colour palette icon instead (BA3). |
| W4 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| W12 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| W13 | ??? ----- Swarm icon - is it still valid? |
| W17 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| W22 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| X7 | Metaball icon - duplicated one (U5). |
| X17-18 | Pose data icon - piece of a cake. |
| X21 | Shape Key - still on my To-Do list. Honestly, I don’t know how to bite this yet. |
| X24-25 | (Packed data) - I think it’s still used somewhere in GUI. |
| Y10 | Light paint - I guess it’s not in use anymore… |
| Y11 | ??? ----- a mysterious Paint icon… no idea, what’s that for. |
| Z10 | ??? ----- open a bitmap file? Abandoned, I suppose. |
| Z17 | Old GE Editor - not in use at the moment. |
| Z21 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| AA7 | a new icon was designed - G17 (keep things in sync). |
| AA8 | duplicated Z17 icon. |
| AA9 | a fossil… Not used for ages. |
| AA10 | an old Python script icon - abandoned. I made new icon for Python files: D23. |
| AA13 | ??? ----- duplicated U11 or K22? |
| AA14 | duplicated icon X10. |
| BA12 | ??? ----- render region - is it still in use? |
| BA13-14 | ??? ----- small Select tool icons - are they still in use? |
| CA1 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| CA9 | Copy ID icon - still on my To-Do list. Honestly, I don’t know how to bite this yet. |
| CA11 | ??? ----- some kind of linking related pictogram - no idea, what’s that for. |
| CA19 | ??? ----- back to previous view? I’d suggest using general Back icon (C16). |
| CA22-25 | old Logic nodes icons. Fossils… |
| CA26 | a plug-in/add-on icon. Still on my To-Do list. |
| DA15 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| DA17 | ??? ----- no idea, what’s that for. |
| DA21-26 | ??? ----- no idea, what are they for. |
Besides that, request for new items was made. Some of wanted pictograms were already designed, but some of them are still waiting for my attention:
- Fake User
- Icons for next to buttons: None, Animated, Keyframed, Driven, Linked, Overriden, Node Linked (BTW - I need more info about that)
- Orphan Data mode
- (Static) Override
- Find Next (Text Editor)
- Replace (Text Editor)
- Volume Object
- Hair Object
- Particle Object
Not to mention big thumbnails icons for File Browser…
It’s still a load work to do.
